The Certification/Appropriation Reports allows the user to generate an Amended Certificate of Estimated Resources summary or detail report or a Certificate of Available Balances summary or detail report.
Certificate of Available Balances
The Certificate of Available Balances program produces a report which is to be submitted to the county auditor at the beginning of the fiscal year. The program offers both detail and summary report options. By default, all funds will be reported at the Fund/SCC level. However, you can choose to enter ranges of fund numbers and specify a reporting level of either Fund or Fund/SCC. Please refer to the Fund Levels for Reporting section of this chapter for further information.
Fiscal Year
- The user selects the fiscal year to report on.
Exclude Fund/SCC
- You may also enter Fund/SCCs you wish to exclude from the report. This might be utilized when it becomes necessary to exclude a budget reserve fund, student activity funds, or auxiliary service funds, etc.
Principal Amounts for Permanent Funds
- Allows the user to enter the fund and special cost center along with the associated principal amount for any permanent funds. Reporting requirements state that only interest earnings are supposed to be considered available for expenditure when certifying year-end balances of a permanent fund to the county auditor. NOTE: The amount entered for each Fund/SCC will be subtracted from the beginning cash balance reported for the fund.
Advances Not Repaid
- It is necessary to enter any advances that have not been repaid as of July 1st. NOTE: A positive amount should be entered for the fund that made the advance and a negative amount entered for the fund that will be making the reimbursement.
- Use the + to add principal amounts for permanent funds. You will be prompted to enter the permanent Fund/SCC and Principal amount. The SCC will default to '0000' if an SCC isn't entered.
